>creates free electricity
>gets assassinated
Very cool, glowies
>>
Oh look, a schizo thread
>>
>>16873782
>creates free electricity
no he didnt
>>
Looks like the Brown shooter was his killer.
>>
>>16873782
Cold nuke?
>>
>>16873782
Doubtful. But I would love to know who killed him and why.
>>
>>16873830
Supposedly another Portuguese physics guy and they knew each other
>>
>>16873782
>be university professor
>create nothing of value
>get shot
they should've shot up his lab or something idk
>>
>>16873850
And what have you created of value, chud-kun?
>>
shooter was just found dead in a storage unit
seems like he was a fellow student back in portugal
i'm guessing he was bitter over the success of his former peer
he also attended brown as a grad student, but promptly took a leave of absence and then withdrew. who knows why he felt the need to shoot up some kids with nothing to do with him besides taking physics and engineering classes.
what a tremendous faggot.
>>
>>16873852
I am referring to the exploitative academia system where the burden of value creation is kicked down the hierarchy.
>>
>>16873857
Sounds like you swallowed some youtube bullshit whole. The situation isn't great for professors either. They have to work hard as fuck and they create a lot of value. The problems go deeper. Professors have little power, except a very select few who become imitation consultoids.
>>
>>16873860
A professor's job is not doing research or even writing publications.
>>
>>16873862
Not really. Most professors do some research. I agree that many don't do much research and are mostly administrators, supervisors, politicians, grant grubbers, and teachers. However they mostly don't get paid that much (considering how qualified they are, how hard they work, and how tenuous their positions are - yes, tenure is a meme in 2025), and most of them would LIKE to do more research. The system is not good but it's not the fault of the professors. I say this as someone who did multiple postdocs in le physics and quit because I will never be a professor, and being a professor kinda fucking sucks anyway. Some of the professors are mongrels but they did not (mostly) make this retarded system.
>>
>>16873869
>However they mostly don't get paid that much
lol. lmao. engineering profs are doing just fine.
>>
>>16873874
Most of them could've earned way more in industry/tech.
>>
>>16873782
dw, free market will fix it
>>
>>16873869
>they mostly don't get paid that much
not all renumeration is monetary.

>most of them would LIKE to do more research
Then most of them are retards who don't understand what their job is. Academia is bad in that sense, that it self-selects for people who are interested in doing a job other than the one job you can and likely want to do.

>I say this as someone who did multiple postdocs in le physics and quit because I will never be a professor, and being a professor kinda fucking sucks anyway.
So you know everything, after all.
Why bother arguing with me, you know I'm right.
Professors don't do research, they generally don't know the work of their group in more detail than to be able to answer questions at conferences and their actual job is getting money.
>>
>>16873877
Most of them would work way more in industry/tech.
What's better, making 100k on a 40 hour workweek or 250k on an 80 hour workweek?
>>
>>16873885
Anon real jobs in industry have contracts. No one is going to pay you for 40 fucking hours of overtime, at 250k base salary that would come out to over 600k. Industry professionals work the same 40 hour work weeks everyone else does.
>>
>>16873911
>Industry professionals work the same 40 hour work weeks everyone else does.
Not at the level equivalent to a professor.
There's no more work hours at that level.
>>
>>16873885
Neither. Professors can make $90k on a 30 hour work week 30 weeks a year. With tenure, so job security to start a family.
>>
>>16873950
If you are working for free then you are most definitely not at "professor" level sorry you got scammed.
>>
>>16873984
No, anon. It simply means you no longer have working hours on a clock. Any high-level management position is "24/7/365", especially in industry. If you run a plant, for instance, you're never "off-the-clock" holidays or not. If something happens, you need to be available, no matter the time or place.

These positions are paid extremely well, precisely due to this expectation.

Peerless wealth.

Why is he the chud archetype? What kind of predictive program set this in motion? What are the odds of shooting a random person from a highly intelligent field and it turns out to be a chud. How come you shoot a random in a field of leftist trannies and it hits pedophile criminals?

He doesn't look chud at all
Also chuds can't be high-iq
Pic related is the phenotypical low-iq-but-thinks-theyre-high-iq-type chud
>>
>>16873785
you can create free electricity by petting a cat. op didn't specify how much.
>>
>>16874072
yes, those are examples of a bunch of cummies, but they are not chuddies.
>>
>>16874083
No you can’t. You must ingest food and expend energy while petting the cat in order to create static energy.
That would be like saying that you can create free energy by peddling a stationary bike. In this situation, you must also expend energy to create energy.
>>
>>16874083
>free electricity by petting a cat
petting takes energy
>>
>>16874104
who is talking about free energy? do you think the word “free” implies violation of energy conservation in any context? if that was true it wouldn't be a very useful word.
>>
>>16874110
But that is exactly the current problem with fusion, you have to put in a large amount of energy to produce a small amount. This is the hurdle with this technology.
>>
>>16874116
then it's even worse because the He-4 produced has to be quickly removed somehow or else fusion rates go down significantly. nobody can show how to do this because it would involve disrupting the plasma core
>>
>>16874083
thats not free. it cost energy to move your arm/hand
>>
>>16873782
Either some kind of cold war-esque sabotage or corpo sabotage.
Is what it is. Not much you can do.
>>
>>16874326
STILL NO NEW PSFC JOB POSTINGS
>>
>>16873862
>A professor's job is not doing research or even writing publications
lol, you're not even close to an academic.
Publish or perish.
>>
>>16873782
The problem with your take is that glowies desperately need free electricity to power their gay, fake and ridiculously inefficient AI panopticon. They will not kill anyone who can deliver this.
>>
Watch as how the next person that takes over the research belongs to the nose tribe.
>>
>>16874583
The associated work group has to publish and the professor needs to authorships, yes. But where does this imply that the professor needs to be the individual doing all that?
>>
>>16873785
He would have.
He also would have discovered time travel.
Time Corps Agents got him.
They will never tell you that the body in the storage locker was dead for two weeks.
>>
>>16874326
The US helped Israel kill multiple Iranian scientists. While it would be interesting if somehow the Portuguese assassin had Chinese/Iranian links it's very unlikely. All the theories on why he died are highlighting the fact that the US has been aiding Israels assassination of multiple Iranians nuclear scientists without cause for years now. We know Iran isn't working on nuclear weapons, they even comply with investigations to avoid ending up like Iraq and these scientists do not work with the military.
